The Freedom Walkers, Michael Reyes and Matt McCanna, began their journey from Terre Haute today, walking 30 miles today! In response to the 30th year of incarceration of Puerto Rican Political Prisoner Oscar Lopez Rivera, the National Boricua Human Rights Network would like to announce the Freedom Walk. Members of the NBHRN have committed themselves to take up the physical and mental challenge of walking over 200 miles in 10 days, from the Terre Haute, IN (location of prison where Oscar is being held) to Humboldt Park, Chicago (Oscar’s community). The group will leave Terre Haute, IN on May 19th at 9am, and on May 28th they will be joined by 30 more freedom walkers who have committed to walk a symbolic 30 miles in honor of the 30 years Oscar has been incarcerated.
